SEVEN GENERALS EARN PRESEASON ALL-AMERICA HONORS FROM CLUSA

Feb 04, 2000

LEXINGTON, Va. -- Street & Smith's College Lacrosse USA
Preseason All-America teams have been announced and Washington and
Lee had seven players honored. Only defending national champion
Salisbury State had more All-America selections (8).

A trio of juniors in attackman Matt Dugan (Rockaway,
N.J./Mountain Lakes), midfielder Pope Hackney (Richmond, Va./St.
Christopher's), and defenseman Pete Iwancio (Baltimore, Md./Loyola)
were all named to the First Team All-America list. All three earned
Preseason First Team All-America honors by Faceoff 2000 Men's
Lacrosse Yearbook.

Dugan was the ODAC Player of the Year and a Second Team
All-American last season after tallying 57 goals and 27 assists for
84 points.

Hackney was a First Team All-ODAC and Third Team All-America
selection in 1999 after scoring 27 goals and dishing 10 assists,
while Iwancio earned the same honors after helping the Generals
post the nation's top scoring defense (5.20 gpg.).

Senior attackman Colin Dougherty (Timonium, Md./Loyola) earned
Second Team Preseason All-America honors by CLUSA after garnering
the same honor by Faceoff 2000. Dougherty was named Second Team
All-ODAC last season after totaling 26 goals and 26 assists for 52
points. He earned Honorable Mention All-America honors following
the 1998 season, but was riddled with injuries in 1999.

Like Dougherty, Antrim also battled through an injury-plagued
1999 season to earn First Team All-ODAC and Honorable Mention
All-America honors. He was named to Faceoff's Second Team Preseason
All-America squad. Hays finished the 1999 season third in Division
III in goals-against average (5.91) and posted a .600 save
percentage.

Washington and Lee returns 24 letterwinners, nine starters, and
its top nine scorers to the fold this season after going 13-2 last
year. The Generals won the ODAC with a perfect 6-0 record and
advanced to the quarterfinals of the NCAA Tournament.
